Hi Uzma, Are the doc libraries on publishing sites, or WSS sites with publishing feature enabled?
I have seen this in our farm too. At first I thought it may have been due to accidental changes to the content types on the doc libraries. For example, if someone inadvertently made changes to an attached content type via the doc library (instead of at the site collection level) then the content type would not inherit pushed down changes. It's almost as though inheritance gets broken. It also seems that not all changes get pushed through, all the time, but this may be more of a bug than a configuration issue. The other thing I noticed is that you can receive an error when opening or creating docs because of a template mismatch. Had you provided a custom form for the content type? If so, then this could also be your problem. Also, I would recommend deploying your content types as features. This seems more secure and easier to manage/migrate.

Hey guys, Having a blonde moment... I'm having troubles with Content Types on my Intranet. I have a document based content type which has 3 fields, let's call it Letters. About 50 sites have content type management enabled and I have added Letters content type to the site A. I've always thought that when you update the content type from the site home, inheritance kicks in and all sites are updated. So I've added a new custom column to the content type Letters from the site root, hit OK ensuring all sites with this content type is enabled. I check the content type on a site A and the field has not been updated. However if I remove the content type and add it again, the new fields are added. Have I set something up incorrectly on the Intranet or is this simply just "SharePoint". I understand the importance of locking down metadata before mass creating sites, but when a situation occurs when you need to update a content type that *should* aggregate across the collection.... and it doesn't... what does one do? Maybe I'm missing a vital point in this?? Uzma ________________________________ Windows Live just got better.
